Radiohead: Thom Yorke
built 302 days ago
Radiohead came onto the South Park stage at eight-thirty. It was not the most flawless show of the past few weeks, but it may have been the most intense. Yorke's voice glowed with emotion. If Terence Gilmore-James had been there, he would have been happy; you could hear how Radiohead's storm of sound was centered on a singing line. During "How to Disappear Completely," a drenching rain began to fall. The crowd, religiously attentive, stayed in place.

Radiohead's putting the finishing touches on LP7, and from the sound of things, Thom needs to get his IDM fix elsewhere. Enter Modeselektor (or MDSLKTR if you have to get all MSTRKRFT about it). The Berlin-based electronic outfit wooed Mr....more »

There are times when Radiohead seem to be practicing a new kind of classical music for the masses. In the sessions for "Kid A" and "Amnesiac," which began in 1999 and dragged on for a year and a half, their sound became bewitchingly intricate. On "Pyramid Song," for example, a string section played glissando harmonics, a texture that Stravinsky's "Firebird" made famous, while Selway laid on a shuffling rhythm that defies description, because, as he said, "there is no time signature." On "Dollars & Cents," O'Brien used a pedal to bend a chord from major to minor and back again. For "Like Spinning Plates," Yorke learned the vocal line of an unused song backward and made up new words while driving around in his car. The guitarists set aside their instruments for a while and taught themselves to use heaps of electronic equipment. In "Treefingers," on "Kid A," O'Brien generated something that sounded a lot like Jonny's beloved Messiaen.

Radiohead are currently unsigned, having fulfilled their six-album contract with EMI. In interviews in 2006, the band said that "for the first time, we have no contract or release deadline to fulfill – it's both liberating and terrifying".[2] The band have stated that they will not make a decision on how to release their new material until it is finished.[3] Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has ... hinted at the possibility of releasing EPs rather than an album, but ruled out the possibility of Internet-only distribution.[4] It is unknown whether the band has plans to negotiate a new contract with a label for release of current and future recordings.

Jonathan "Jonny" Richard Guy Greenwood is Radiohead's "lead" guitarist. He is ... the brother of fellow band member Colin Greenwood. His short name, "Jonny", is spelled without h, because it comes from the name Jonathan, not John. Radiohead fans have joked about this, suggesting that bandmate Thom Yorke adopted the "h" that Jonny dropped. FULL NAME: Jonathan Richard Guy Greenwood. BIRTH: November 5, 1971.
